Abstract
An adductor exerciser has a stanchion, a stand, a crossbar and two legs. The stanchion has an upper end and a lower end. The stand is attached to the lower end. The crossbar is attached to the upper end of the stanchion. Each leg is pivotally connected to the crossbar and has a distal end and a pedal assembly. The pedal assembly is mounted rotatably to the distal end of the leg.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an adductor exerciser, especially to an adductor exerciser with legs.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Adductor muscles are a muscle group located around the groin and allow a person to open and close their legs. Additionally, the adductor muscles are used in sports for turning, pushing, changing direction and kicking. Therefore, sports people must train the adductor muscles, especially for, but not limited to soccer, football, dancing, martial arts, skating and gymnastics. When not trained the adductor muscles become loose and fatty tissue builds up, so many women especially want to focus on the adductor muscles for vanity.
- Therefore, calisthentic exercises may be performed to focus on the adductor muscles, but these exercises must be performed properly, preferably under trained instruction and for long periods. Therefore, people who wish to focus just on adductor muscles have to perform a whole routine with cardiovascular benefits.
- Since many people cannot afford a personal trainer to monitor their movement, conventional adductor machines have been taught and may comprise a chair, two arms and a weight block. The arms are transversely mounted pivotally on the chair. The weight block is connected to the arms. A user sits in the chair and spreads their legs open to pull the weight block up to provide resistance, or open their legs and pull their legs together to pull the weight block up and provide resistance. Therefore, many people find the conventional adductor machines embarrassing to use. Moreover, the conventional adductor machine provides no cardiovascular benefit. Since adductor machines are embarrassing to use, people prefer to perform adductor exercise at home. However, the conventional adductor machines are too large and expensive for most people's homes. Moreover, calistentic exercise is time consuming and requires training and supervision. To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides an adductor exerciser to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the invention is to provide an adductor exerciser.
- The adductor exerciser in accordance with the present invention has a stanchion, a stand, a crossbar and two legs.
- The stanchion has an upper end and a lower end. The stand is attached to the lower end. The crossbar is attached to the upper end of the stanchion. Each leg is pivotally connected to the crossbar and has a distal end and a pedal assembly. The pedal assembly is attached to the distal end of the leg.
- Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 3 , 4 and 7, the legs (40) are respectively connected pivotally to the pivots (31) of the crossbar (30) and each leg (40) has a proximal end, a distal end, a sleeve (41), an pedal strut (43), a pedal assembly (42) and a reinforcing rod (45). - The sleeve (41) is formed on the proximal end of the leg (40) and is mounted rotatably on the pivot (31) of the crossbar (30).
- The pedal strut (43) is formed on and protrudes perpendicularly from the distal end of the leg (40) and has a rear end.
- The reinforcing rod (45) is mounted between the leg (40) and the pedal strut (43) for increased strength.
- With further reference to
FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7, the pedal assembly (42) is mounted rotatably on the pedal strut (43) and may comprise a bottom, a pedal rod (44) and a bottom pintle (421). The pedal rod (44) is mounted pivotally on the pedal strut (43) and may be folded against the leg (40) for compact and convenient storage. The bottom pintle (421) protrudes from the bottom of the pedal assembly (42) and is mounted rotatably in the pedal rod (44). - When using the adductor exerciser, the user may focus on front and rear or side adductor muscles. When exercising side adductor muscles, the user stands on the pedal assemblies (42) facing the stanchion (10). When practicing front and rear adductor muscles, the user rotates the pedal assemblies (42) and faces perpendicular to the stanchion (10).
- The handles (50) are attached to the ends of the crossbar (30) and each has an end and a grip (51). The grips (51) are mounted respectively on the ends of the handles (50). The handles (50) allows the user to better balance her or his body by gripping on the grips (51) of the handles (50).
- The bumpers (60) are attached to the crossbar (30) respectively adjacent to the pivots (31) and limit rotation of the legs (40).
- The computer (70) is mounted on the crossbar (30), and comprises at least one sensor to record and transmit exercising performance to the computer (70) for display and may record time, number of repetitions, heart rate, angle or the like and even recommend programs to the user.
- The adductor exerciser is simple to use and may be folded compact for home use. Additionally, no weight block is required so further improving compactness and reducing costs. Importantly, the user does not have to perform embarrassing movements, so the adductor exerciser may be implemented for home use or in commercial gyms
- Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
